Mag 68

This is the last week to pre-order my poetry chapbook, Patina, from Finishing Line Press. This will help me tremendously, since my pressrun is determined by advance sales. A huge thank you to all who have placed an order. Your kind support means so very much. You are the best. [Click here for the link to FLP]

It should indeed be an interesting week. I have an odd relationship with my own peepers, having twice come all too close to losing their use.I've posted an existing piece for now but I think I may have a second one later in the week.Gosh! Two weeks was a long time with no new Mag!! :) Thank goodness you're back Tess!!

Sorry about that Jacqui. It's a vintage glass eye I bought at the Scott Antique Fair in Columbus a few years ago. The vendor had a wooden case with narrow drawers filled with all sizes and colors. It was hard for me to choose just one. They really are amazing pieces of craftsmanship.

What an interesting prompt. Tess I just received a great book that I think you would enjoy. I wrote about it on my blog. The post is called the ultimate writing tool. When you have time check it out. Congrats on Patina. I can't wait to get my copy. xox

The eye, doppelganger,encased in glass, it parrotsand embraces pretense,but sees nothing,just like demagogues,blind pirates, stone dogs,and park statues,but what it representsis holy, spiritual, so very Zenas swing open the doors ofperception, and use our visionas best we can muster.

I played! I played! Now I'm going to go read what everyone came up with to see how many had the same idea as me.This is a truly disturbing photo and because this monologue has been on my mind since seeing it on Monday, I must be a slightly disturbed gal.
